Chapter 117: Captivity
Looking at the gentle smile on Rong Xiuyuan's face, Jian Xiaozhu only felt creepy. Puzzled, she asked, "What good is it for you to get me?" ”
Jian Xiaozhu's words made Rong Xiuyuan pause, and he sighed slightly: "Yunzhu, haven't you ever understood my heart for you?" ”
As he spoke, Rong Xiuyuan's hand gently swept across Jian Xiaozhu's cheek, causing Jian Xiaozhu to hide backwards as if he had been stung by a bee.
"Capacity...... Rong Gongzi, don't be like this. I already have a heart. ”
Rong Xiuyuan heard Jian Xiaozhu's words, and there was a slight look of injury in his eyes. His hand hung limply and he asked, "What if, the one you love, he is dead?" ”
"He's not going to die!"
But Rong Xiuyuan suddenly smiled and said, "Yunzhu, maybe I should tell you that Zhu Gongzi has been shot dead on the spot by Prime Minister Qi Ren's hidden guards." ”
"What did you say?"
Jian Xiaozhu looked at Rong Xiuyuan in disbelief, thinking of the revised plot, Zhu Yan was also killed by his hidden guard when he assassinated Qi Ren. If what Rong Xiuyuan said is true, then the timeline she is in now is close to the end.
However, the voice clearly said that she still had a chance to change everything.
But Rong Xiuyuan's words shattered Jian Xiaozhu's illusions: "Yunzhu, although I know that it may be a little cruel to say this to you. But Zhu Gongzi was indeed killed when you were unconscious. Because, I saw it all with my own eyes. ”
"I don't believe it!" Jian Xiaozhu shook his head: "I don't believe he died like this." And, why did you see all this with your own eyes? ”
"Because, I helped Qi Ren lead the army to rebel. Otherwise, even though he had been planning for a long time, he did not have the strength to break through the defense. ”
Jian Xiaozhu looked at the mild-eyed pianist in front of him, but he didn't expect that this person, who looked handsome and had no quarrel with the world, turned out to be the driving force behind all this. It's just that he is only a luthier, why does he have such great ability?
However, Rong Xiuyuan's next words solved the doubts in Jian Xiaozhu's heart.
"Yunzhu, maybe you still remember the play you heard on the night we first met, right?"
"I think I should tell you that the general who was killed for rebellion in the play is my father."
Thinking of the play he watched that night, the general's entire family was beheaded because of his rebellion, Jian Xiaozhu looked at Rong Xiuyuan in shock: "So, thirteen years ago, you escaped, and now you want to take revenge on the entire Dongyuan?" ”
Rong Xiuyuan shook his head: "No, it's not right." I'm not looking for revenge, after all, I was the one who killed my father and family. ”
At that time, the Empress Dowager had always wanted to find an opportunity to kill her father who was against her in the court. It was I who handed her the knife, because when I was a child, I hated my father who forced me to practice martial arts. I just hope that he will disappear so that no one will stop me from learning the piano. It's just that I didn't expect that the Empress Dowager took advantage of my childlike words and convicted my father of rebellion. ”
Listening to Rong Xiuyuan's words, Jian Xiaozhu's eyes were full of shock. Rong Xiuyuan leaned over to look at her, stretched out his hand and gently stroked her face.
"I've lost so much. So Yunzhu, no matter what, I'm going to keep you by my side. ”
As Rong Xiuyuan said, Jian Xiaozhu was almost imprisoned in this room. Days passed, and she didn't find any way out. Outside the door, there are strong guards guarding her, and even the maid who brings her food is a little skilled in martial arts.
Rong Xiuyuan would come to this room every day at dinner time and talk to Jian Xiaozhu for a while. But most of the time he was talking, and Jian Xiaozhu just kept his head shut and ate with his head bored.
But Rong Xiuyuan would not be annoyed by her indifference, but would support his chin and look at her with tender eyes: "When I finish handling everything, let's get married." ”
Jian Xiaozhu glanced at him: "Why do you think I will marry you?" ”
Rong Xiuyuan smiled and said, "Yunzhu, I said that no matter what, I will get you." ”
Jian Xiaozhu secretly scolded in his heart, and then said, "Since you said that you want to marry me, then you have to let me know more about you." ”
Hearing Jian Xiaozhu's words, Rong Xiuyuan's eyes glowed with joy, and he asked happily, "Yunzhu, what do you want to know?" ”
"That's ......" Jian Xiaozhu thought for a while, and then asked: "You escaped from the disaster of destroying the door thirteen years ago, and who helped you plan all this?" ”
Rong Xiuyuan said: "The one who helped me escape was a person who was good friends with my father. As for plotting all this...... My personal wishes, of course. So I went to Xiyun and befriended Yuan Heng, the sixth prince who hid his deepest ambitions, and became his advisor. Later, I went north and helped the Seventh Prince Huyanjue to seize the throne of Khan. With their strength, it won't be too difficult to help Qi Ren capture the Dongyuan Palace. ”
Jian Xiaozhu was surprised: "I didn't expect it...... You're so capable. ”
Rong Xiuyuan said with a smile: "I don't have that great powers, but I just happen to be able to recognize people with hidden ambitions and help them fulfill their wishes." ”
But Jian Xiaozhu was puzzled: "But, as a relative of the Empress Dowager, why would Yuan Heng help you?" ”
Rong Xiuyuan said: "Because, I never really wanted to help him. Now, I have helped the second prince of Xiyun to win the throne. It's just a praying mantis catching cicadas, and the yellow finch is behind. It's all too complicated for me to go into the details of it. Still, there's something I might want you to see. ”
"What's that?"
Rong Xiuyuan said to the door, "Take those two things to the door." ”
Jian Xiaozhu followed Rong Xiuyuan to the door of the house, and saw that in the courtyard outside, there were two guards holding two plates with their hands. took two steps forward before she saw that on these two plates, there were two human heads with extremely distorted faces.
Jian Xiaozhu exclaimed: "This is? ”
Rong Xiuyuan said: "I heard that Murong You's two concubines, Concubine Xi and Concubine Xiao, almost killed you. Therefore, I asked these two people from Qi Ren and had them tortured severely. ”
Listening to Rong Xiuyuan's words, Jian Xiaozhu only felt a chill in his heart. She looked at the two heads again, and finally recognized that they were indeed Concubine Xi and Concubine Xiao. Judging by their distorted faces stained with blood, they must have suffered greatly during their lifetimes.
"Though I used to hate these two men, I cursed them. However, I won't be grateful to you for that. ”
Rong Xiuyuan said with a smile: "I don't need you to thank me, I just hope that you can understand that by my side, no one can bully you." ”
After that, Rong Xiuyuan said to the two guards in the courtyard, "Take these two heads and feed them to the wild dogs." ”
"Yes!"
After the two guards left, Rong Xiuyuan said softly to Jian Xiaozhu, "Come into the house, it's cold outside at night." ”
Jian Xiaozhu looked at Rong Xiuyuan's gentle eyes and couldn't help but shudder. This person is much more terrifying than he imagined.
